This one was a doozy. Nosk is an important figure in Ochiru's life, which is why I wanted to try drawing him. Plus, I wanted to challenge myself with both a spider, and a different species of yokai. Unfortunately, there really isn't a lot of unique features given to spider monsters in general, other than looking like spiders, so I was challenged to try and think of ways to make him look more unique and different from just an enormous spider.
Very pleased with how it ended up turning out! May have fudged the grey colors into mostly dark greys and black, but otherwise I like how it turned out. Definitely was a challenge - I've never drank anything remotely like this before, but I'm happy with the result!
Nosk (c) DerpRavener

Celestia sat at her desk. Between the mountains of scrolls piled up on either side of her sat an empty space just big enough for a single piece of parchment. Above it hovered a quill bathed in a golden aura. Her eyes were locked on that quill rather than the paper she was supposed to be writing on. It was an old feather that had fallen off of Philomena, one of her long primaries with a perfect red to orange gradient. Sometimes she envied that bird, sitting on her perch without anything to worry about.
A drip of ink from the quill interrupted her thoughts. It fell from the nib and landed directly onto the blank parchment, bringing out a frustrated sigh from the princess. She briefly glanced at the overflowing trash bin of crumpled paper. Instead she just wrote. By this point, the first few words were almost second nature.
“My dearest Twilight,” the letter began. “It is with a heavy heart that I write this. But as I’m sure you’ve discovered on your own, with being royalty comes the need to make very difficult decisions.” Her handwriting was much worse than she had hoped it would be. The lettering also faded in and out as her grip on the quill wavered. She dipped the tip in the ink pot. “Please come to Canterlot as soon as possible. I must ask something of you that will be easier said in person. Think of it as a final examination.” It wasn’t perfect. She was afraid the wording would cause Twilight unnecessary stress, but Celestia couldn’t find the correct words within herself.
She rubbed her eyes. The moon was high and no doubt her sister would worry if she saw the lights still on in the tower. Before rolling up the paper she put a signature at the bottom. Sloppily, but it was enough. For the final touch she stamped a seal onto the seam of the scroll; an imprint of her cutie mark in bright yellow wax. Her horn glowed. The message vanished into ash, the remnants floating out the window to be received by Spike. Now, time to sleep.
